UP polls: Dharmendra Pradhan holds brainstorming session with party's Brahmin leaders
NEW DELHI: The BJP's
With an aim to keep caste equations in BJP's favour ahead of the assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh next year, Pradhan held more than three-hour marathon meeting at his residence here which was attended by over a dozen Brahmin leaders, they said.
During the meeting, it was decided to form an informal committee of the party's Brahmin leaders to reach out to this crucial segment of voters and share the various welfare measures meant for them such as 10 per cent reservation for poor hailing from upper caste, they said.
The meeting at Pradhan's residence was attended by the party's all prominent Brahmin leaders from the state which, among others, included Jitin Prasada, Ramapati Tripathi, several MPs, Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma, state cabinet ministers Shrikant Sharma and Brijesh Pathak.
Talking to reporters afterwards,
"There are several Brahmin ministers in the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh and the party works by taking all sections of the society forward," he said in response to a question.
The sources said Pradhan discussed various issues with the party leaders and also took their feedback for the upcoming elections.
In its bid to woo Brahmins, the BJP had earlier held Brahmin Sammelans as an outreach exercise to the community.

Do not disrespect Brahmins. They are also humans who are supposed be serving the society. Let us not attribute the social evils to them. Social evils are create and propagated and sustained by the people in power. Look at Telangana. The current ruler propagating the idea of caste, like sheep to Yadavs, some thing gouds, and so on instead of working to erase the caste boundaries. As an individual let us do our part to erase caste. Let us not keep the names with caste, like Yadav, Mishra, Tripathi, choudhary, mukerjee , Reddy and so on. In Andhra, Reddy and Naidu/choudhary rivalry is so strong. It is spoiling the state.Read allPost comment
